Best-selling author Gregory E. Lang captures the essence of the dynamic relationships among adoptive families. These are families with so much love to share whom are desperate to have and/or help children. From hugs and kisses, to witnessing "firsts" together, Why I Chose You depicts all of the reasons why each child is uniquely special to his or her adoptive parent(s). Raising a child is not a right, but a gift. It matters not from where the gift comes, but simply that it is received. Gone are the days in which adoption was taboo. It is reason for rejoicing, sharing, and celebrating. No guilt and no second guesses can creep into your heart once it is so completely filled to bursting with love. It is that love that is celebrated within the pages of Why I Chose You . Gregory E. Lang has compiled dozens of reasons for adoption as well as capturing the adoration, affection, and mutual gratification that is received from both the parent and child. For there is no greater place than a home filled with love, and no greater gift than the smile of a happy and contented child who knows he or she is loved.
This was a Christmas gift to one of my adopted twins to let her know just how special she was to me. I placed an inscription on the inside front cover and I think it will be a keepsake she'll keep forever. The book came quickly, as promised, and was in excellent condidition.
It Touched My Heart

My husband and I are currently in the process of adopting our first child. When I came across this book in the store it stopped me dead in my tracks. Faster than you could blink an eye I was standing in the middle of the aisle reading each page and crying my eyes out. The photos and words in this book truly touched my heart, and I know that it will fast become a family favorite.

Powerful, emotional, exceptionally well done. A perfect gift for anyone who has adopted a child and beautiful reading for the extended family. It captures the almost indescribable feelings that unite a parent and child and will, at some point, be a valuable tool in expressing those feelings to the child.
A great book for older kids being adopted
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
My twin foster children have been with us for almost two years. When I was Christmas shopping my foster son(we plan to adopt both)he spotted this book. He read two or three pages and insisted that we had to have this book. I of course was trying to keep from crying in the store after 3 pages. My son came home with his prize and proceeded to read the whole book outloud to the family. Both he and his sister got more excited as he read. He had other things to add to what was in the book too. I basically was a blubberly mess. Not just a sentimental book though, there are a lot of very deep things in the book. ===A very happy soon to be permanant Dad of two 9 year olds.
